ORANGE BLOSSOMS

WALL-CURNOW. A very pretty but quiet wedding took place at St. Luke’s Church. Christchurch, on Wednesday last, when Professor Wall, of Canterbury College. was married to Miss Gipsy Curnow, the Venerable Archdeacon Lingard officiating. The church was prettily decorated with white flowers and foliage by the bride's girl friends, and a lovely day greeted the bride, who looked exceedingly well in a long trained gown of ivory while satin, transparent, yoke, and sleeves of tucked chiffon, and tucked bolero of the satin. A lovely old lace veil covered all, and an exquisite bridal shower bouquet completed the costume. Four bridesmaids were in attendance —Miss Wall, the Misses Cracroft Wilson, and Miss Symes, who wore while muslin gowns, two had picture hats of violet velvet with white ostrich feathers and violets, and the two others pale blue chiffon bats. They carried lovely white shower bouquets, and wore opal brooches the gift of the bridegroom. The bride was given away by her grandfather. Judge Munro, of Auckland, and Mi’ O. T. J. Alpers acted as best man. After the ceremony Mrs Curnow held a reception at her house, Cambridge Terrace, which took the form of a garden party, the day fortunately being fine. She wore a pale fawn costume with stitched bands and becoming toque. Among the guests were:—Mesdames Cracroft Wilson, Wilding. Denniston, Symes, Anderson. Blunt, Cook, Izard. Haslam. Ollivier, Bevan-Brown, Mr and Mrs Condell, Mr and Mrs Lewin, Professor Blunt. Mrs and Miss Mills. Misses Denniston. Archdeacon and Miss Lingard, Misses Cook, Lean, Izard. Julius, and others.
